Have you ever imagined choosing between life or Death? Have you ever imagined what kind of thoughts swirled in the minds of the victims of 9/11? These victims were ordinary people, waking up to an ordinary day, getting ready for their ordinary work. They embraced their children in the morning, kissed their wives, and said Good bye. Little did they know that would be the last time they did anything of the sort. September 11th was a day that the people of America will never forget, all the people…

I begin my paper by Waltz’s perception of modern realist theory, who in his writing ‘Man, the state of war’, has pointed out three integral images of the causes of war.
